Berkeley Capital Management Berkeley Capital Management (BCM), a trading name of Berkeley Futures Limited established 1986, is designed to offer clients a diversification from traditional fund management by offering :  Investments in commodity, equity and index markets  Access to SIPP providers  Clients total control of their assets  Investment in highly liquid and transparent markets  Connection to online account information BCM achieves this by offering individual managed accounts

Advantages of Managed Accounts There are several advantages for clients having a managed account, over investing in traditional funds. These include :  Retaining control of assets in an individual client account, segregated from the firms own funds  Full transparency of trades and positions, including daily position summary and daily account valuation  Daily liquidity which enables clients to withdraw money at any time  Avoiding co-investor risk

Berkeley Option Writing Managed Account BCM has developed the Option Writing Managed Account to generate premium using an option writing strategy, which is un-geared, limited to shares in the FTSE 100 and therefore accepts no greater risk than buying the relevant underlying stock.

Example Share ABC is trading at 320p Client writes (sells) 1 Jan 300 put at 10p (assuming the obligation to take delivery of 1,000 shares at 300p, if the holder exercises his right to sell) If ABC is trading above 300p at Jan expiry : The option becomes worthless and premium received is £100 (1 contract x 1000 shares x 10p) If ABC is trading below 300p at Jan expiry : The option would be assigned resulting in a share purchase by the client at an effective price of 290p (300p – 10p premium)* * please note it is possible, albeit unlikely, that the option buyer may exercise his right to sell to the client before the expiry date of the contract.

Effect Should the option ABC not be assigned, the asset manager will repeat the process by writing further put options either in ABC or another relevant stock. If the option is assigned, the client will own the underlying shares. In this instance, the asset manager will write (sell) call options above the current price with the intention of selling the stock at a higher price and receiving premium. The mechanics of this work in exactly the same way as writing puts but with a view to selling shares, at higher levels than the prevailing prices.

Results Account Value as at: 3 rd Feb 2006 = £50, th Sep 2011= £56,800 This represents an increase of 13.60%, net of costs, over five and a half years. In the same period the FTSE has fallen by nearly 11% Please note: The following results have been independently verified by CPA Audit up to and including the figures for 30 th September 2011.
